More surely even than anticipated objections to firm insistence on proper defining and use of scientific method, I can replicate the effects of gravity. I can replicate the rate of acceleration of the falling apple, etc.Uuuumm... You realize the physicists and biologists who "use the scientific method" cheat all the time right? They're constantly getting busted for doctoring results and making stuff up. Piltdown man is hardly an anomoly.Universally verifiable and replicable.
As opposed to a tooth or bone fragment or fraudulent Piltdown skull from which one can construct a fantasy animal and make-believe a place in the ‘fossil record’ for it, to much fanfare.
Let’s call religion religion, science science and theory theory, since only from that honest forum will any worthwhile discussion ensue; I have no time for any other kind.
It’s late. Good-night.
Also evolution and physics are more similar than you think. There are plenty of physical models like gravitation, where *we have no idea* why they work like they do. We just know that we can observe them.
Evolution is no different. We can observe the outcomes of evolution(fossils of extinct species, similarities of DNA in related species etc...) and even limited examples of speciation(drosophila, green warblers and salamanders).
